AOSA Tetrazolium Testing Handbook update procedures:

 
Members of the AOSA and SCST worked many years to develop the 2000 edition of the AOSA Tetrazolium Testing Handbook.  The notebook style of the handbook and  the ample space provided on the procedures pages were designed so that analysts could easily make notations, corrections, and additions.  This current website contains corrections and additions from 2001, 2002, and 2004 through 2007.  No additions or corrections were posted in 2003. 

The TZ subcommittee welcomes comments and proposals for changes.

To streamline the revision process, the TZ subcommittee has developed procedures to be followed if you would like to see changes (simple or complex) made in the Tetrazolium Testing Handbook.   Please use and consult the following documents:

1.  Information questionnaire to accompany complex changes.
